7.2.4 · The FCCP shall ensure that no person shall be left alone with children without approval from the Division which shall be based on the results of the background check to include fingerprinting.
During this visit, Staff A stated that Staff A and another individual who was not listed on the program's BFIS staff list, was providing substitute care for the program while the provider was away for two weeks. The provider stated that Staff B has provided unsupervised care to the children in the program for one or two hours, approximately six times since 01/01/24. Staff B is not listed on the program's staff list and therefore has not received approval from the Divsion based on the results of a fingerprint supported background clearance. The provider also stated that they believed Staff B was listed as a substitute as they have been previously. While a review of past employees of the program did reveal that Staff B has worked with the program previously, Staff B was removed from the list in 2020 and last received fingerprint supported background clearance approval from the Division more than five years ago. The provider did not ensure that Staff B was indeed listed in the program's account and had current fingerprint clearance approval from the Division prior to allowing Staff B to be left alone with children. This does not meet the requirements of this rule.
